Ирония судьбы или С легким паром! / Irony of fate or with light steam!

"with light steam" lol!!
this must be the worst translation ever hehe

the movie's a classic though. you won't find a single old Russian who doesn't like it

Well, I haven't seen any of those films except for Alexander Nevsky and Solaris, but I really enjoyed Andrei Rublev

laughs @ "with light steam"

I've seen most of those mentioned in the first post, I adore them to death.

But how else do you translate "s legkim parom?" I dare those who laughed to try it themselves. I infinity dare them. Will not attempt unless I see results from others first.

with hot and gentle arome

meaning of "arome" is obscure; if you can define it better.... the definition i found does not relate to the theme of the original statement. also, the original expression is a common one among russians; the expression you came up with would rarely be mentioned among common people. try again.

hot and gentle.... nc. :D

I also like "Stalker" and "Utomlennie Solncem."

yes, but... it's better than steam :D

I try again: with hot and gentle steamy touch :p
argh, forget it

You could say vapor....

light vapor.... :eek:

anyways, i'm off to shower, after which i'll have some nice happy hot and gentle....

1) "congratulations with the completion of a shower"

2) "happy post-shower"

3) "good shower"

4) "hopefully you didn't drop the soap" :D

she's a girl dancing in silk
like in india
on the surface of lotus tea,
just a bit more than vapour in reality.

you can drink
and she's dancing in you,
a ghost of the mist
in a cup of tea,
a dancer in silk.

The best Russian war flick, which happened to be the best war flick I've ever seen is called "Edye e Smotre," which I thinks translates to "Come and See."

Absolutely horrific.

she's a girl dancing in silk [etc]
very pretty :)

Not necessarily a Russian film, but "Ninotchka" with the part of the stolid, stiff lipped Russian bitch Ninotchka played by beautiful Garbo.

I've recently started to translate my actors (http://www.geocities.com/rusatg/rusactor.htm) pages,
so far Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Aleksandr Abdulov, Yevgeni Leonov.
Tell me what you think. If you like it. I'll do my best to translate the rest.

can you also do pages about russian music and singers?

hey everyone, this isnt to do with films, but here goes

i read some tom clancy about america vs Russia, it was heavily biased and the Americans always won, do the Russians have a Tom Clancy equivelent??? whats his name and what books has he published?

thanks lots

btw, i dont speak russian, so it'd help if the books have been translated into English

can you also do pages about russian music and singers?
Actually I already have a small russian music page:
